A B.C. Provincial Park lies between Kentucky and Alleyne Lakes.
This campsite is heavily used during long weekends and summer holidays.

any size recreational vehicle.

Fishing
Report: A high use lake, Kentucky is stocked annually
with 8000 Pennask Rainbows. Trolling with small lures and spinning
gear is the most popular method used on the lake, but fly fishermen
have also met with success. Kentucky is considered to be somewhat
slow, however it quite often produces large trout in the 4-5 lb.
range. Be sure to visitFishbc.comfor angling information!
